Space agency tasked with establishing Coordinated Lunar Time, partly to aid missions requiring extreme precision

Unlike on Earth, the moon will not have daylight saving time, Coggins said
I don’t know why but the idea that there might be daylight savings time on the moon is hilarious.
Maybe if the Moon rotated like Earth it would be a thought but you can’t really save daylight when it’s tidally locked hmmm
Daylight savings sucks anyway
Any particular spot on the moon does have a day-night cycle, and the length of that does vary throughout the lunar year. Lunar daylight savings here we come!
Sure but it’s like a month long? Haha
Because there’s less gravity on the moon, time there moves a tad more quickly – 58.7 microseconds every day – compared to on Earth.
Okay, that’s even cooler than I thought.
USAonce again looking for units not used by anyone else /j
